Happy New Year

Happy Holidays to everyone and I'm hoping for a very Happy New Year as well. I think we could all use a fresh start and a prosperous New Year. I still haven't achieved my goal of working from home but I haven't given up yet. www.shoptoearn.net/waters has not taken off as I had hoped. I still like the concept except the company seems to be really new to the Industry and very unorganized and inexperienced. My trouble with them (the number one problem, anyway) is that Brokers are not allowed to mention the company name when posting or networking on the Internet, just your link to your website. One would think they would be proud to become a well known name and leader in their field. But for some reason they are scared for people to use thier name. It perplexes me because I'm one of those people that has been involved in more than one Network Marketing Company. I've never heard of a company not wanting you to mention their name. Let me rephrase that, you can mention their name "in person" just not in print. Obviously you can't advertise - that's a no brainer - but I can't even mention their name here on my blog or in a profile that I had with a Networking Site. I can only put my website link. It's funny, this week I have seen commercials for Amway and Avon on TV. Both are Network Marketing Companies. I guess they are using a much different approach to helping their Brokers with Marketing. There is no way for me to get my money back so I'm just chalking it up to a very expensive lesson learned.

Anyway, I probably won't be mentioning that opportunity again. I'm still doing ChaCha and LOVE IT!!!! They have been on a hiring freeze so they aren't accepting any new guides right now. Maybe after the first of the year, who knows. I'll be sure to post here when I find out.

Well, again, Happy New Year to All!!
